Five years into the apocalypse, the best things left are canned goods; ordinary people can only eat "energy blocks" made from cockroaches and various insects.
Being able to eat dozens of kinds of meat, canned fruit, and so on in one go, Xia's parents felt like they were dreaming. However, the couple instinctively ate a little and then stopped, giving the best to Xia Yixin, which forced Xia Yixin to divide the food among herself.
After dinner, Xia Yixin told the couple the truth about Guo Miaomiao's superpowers to their shock.
Mr. and Mrs. Xia were initially surprised to learn the truth, followed by anger, especially Mrs. Xia. She remembered that her family's heirloom necklace had gone missing before the apocalypse. At that time, she had also suspected Guo Miaomiao, who had left her room, but Guo Miaomiao denied it to the death, and with the old lady trying to smooth things over, the matter was dropped.
I never expected Xia Ru and Guo Miaomiao, this mother and daughter, to be so despicable and shameless.
Xia Yixin expressed her thoughts: "Dad, Mom. I can disregard her stealing a man, but she stole our family heirloom, used us, and then killed so many people in my team. I will never forgive her. Moreover, since it is the K base that I established, if I am to leave, I will take my share with me."
The couple unhesitatingly affirmed Xia Yixin's idea: "Whatever you do, Mom and Dad will support you!"
Having persuaded the couple, Xia Yixin took the opportunity to remind them not to reveal her abilities other than ice and mental powers for the time being, and to leave the ability to control zombies to those with mental powers.
The couple immediately understood what she meant.
The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. In addition, many people are now resistant to zombies, and her identity as the zombie queen may arouse fear.
They packed their things and prepared to go to T City.
There are three reasons why I went there.
Before the apocalypse, T City was the largest city in the vicinity, with a dense population and abundant resources. However, the zombie virus also spread the fastest there, and now it is practically impossible for any living people to survive. There are still three Tier 3 zombies in the city.
Previously, the three teams she led went to the New Century Supermarket on the outskirts to seize supplies, but because Xia Ru and Guo Miaomiao concealed the fact that the area was the territory of a third-level zombie, they were almost wiped out there.
Xia Yixin wanted to go back for three reasons: first, no one dared to go to T City, as supplies had been largely replenished over the past five years; second, she felt that some of her team members might still be survivors; and third, T City was home to her parents' alma mater, T City Medical University, which had specialized research labs that might still be usable.
When Xia's parents heard the third reason, their eyes lit up even more.
The deal was struck immediately.
That night, Xia's parents had the most peaceful sleep they'd had since the apocalypse, while Xia Yixin took out a black jade ring from her storage ring and put it on her hand.
She wasn't in a hurry to find Lu Yan. The situation outside was unstable, and she couldn't leave Xia's parents rashly. Besides, she believed that if he woke up in this world, the two of them would definitely meet. Moreover, the fact that the jade ring didn't react proved that the two of them were still far apart.
Kissing the ring on her hand, her heart felt at peace.
at the same time.
Across a vast ocean, on another continent of Planet Q, five years ago, the world's former leading economic power, Country A, had completely fallen. The last order given by the rulers was to turn all of Country A's fleets into rescue ships, carrying supplies and the people of Country A, to evacuate the continent and wait for a miracle to happen with the "seed of fire".
However, five years have passed, and more than half of the twenty warships have been lost, leaving a population of less than 100,000.
They sailed aimlessly on the ocean. One of them, from country N, which was across the sea from China, made a brief stop in hopes of replenishing supplies. However, their captain was bitten by a zombie beast while protecting his crew during the replenishment.
"Commander!!" The team members looked at the man lying on the ground with heartache. His body was covered with dense, spiderweb-like black lines, which were the symptoms of the zombie virus infection.
Just as he was about to completely turn into a zombie, and the remaining team members were about to shoot him in the head according to his "last wish," suddenly, the man opened his tightly closed eyes, and his blue pupils turned gold. At the same time, the wound on his shoulder healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black toxins also dissipated.
"Commander?" Vice Commander Mark looked at his captain standing up with suspicion. Although the man in front of him was tall and cold, and seemed the same as before, there was something vaguely different about him.
Even more bizarrely, the zombies that had been surrounding them seemed to sense a threat and retreated in fear. That was the oppressive aura of the Zombie Emperor, at least at the eighth rank!
Despite the pain from his growing fangs, the man said coldly, "Take the supplies and everyone return to the Ark!"
Not long after, Mark returned to the Ark with the search team and the supplies they had found. Shortly thereafter, the captain, having recovered, ordered a change of course and then locked himself in his room.
The Ark was heading straight for China.
On the other side.
The next day, Xia Yixin found a car and took her parents away from the villa area near the K base. Now, five years after the apocalypse, there were practically no people living in the wild. At first, Xia's father and mother were a little nervous, but they gradually got used to it, and the three of them took turns driving.
We drove all the way to the northwest and finally stopped in a town.
It's more than 300 kilometers from K base, and it takes six or seven hours to drive there. It's very close to T city, though, only 50 kilometers away in a town.
Along the way.
Xia Yixin spread her mental energy and scanned the surrounding area, which spanned several thousand kilometers.
Like an infrared scan, a clear plan of the entire D province appeared in her mind. When she expanded her mental power further outward, she could feel obvious probing. There were also level seven zombie kings in other provinces, but they were not mental zombies.
She withdrew her mental energy and focused on D Province. The largest base in the entire D Province was now the K Base, with a dozen or so smaller bases scattered around. Humans were marked in green, zombies in red, and those with superpowers in green.
Zombies of level five and above develop self-awareness. There are about ten level five zombie mini-bosses, two level six bosses, and only one level seven zombie king.
Above that, there are zombie emperors and level nine god-level zombies that she hasn't detected yet, but according to the system, they might exist. The original work didn't describe level nine god-level zombies in detail, only mentioning at the end that "they are no different from humans, and even stronger."
Upon arriving in town, they found clean houses to stay in.
On the way, Xia Yixin mixed the pills from her storage ring into the water they drank, quickly restoring their health. Combined with canned food, the couple were walking briskly by the time they arrived in the town.
Even more surprisingly, they found dozens of green dots scattered around the mountaintop—not humans, but some kind of livestock!
